This is a state road, the state benefits from the speeding tickets not the local towns. Now as for what keeps the speed down. There are a few things to consider here. I believe that there are some area where they are still doing some work. Second there are on and off ramps that are not appropriately set up to allow proper merging at these speeds.
I believe the plan, or at least it was awhile ago, is to get the section up to 4 lanes, and the on and off ramps reworked to support the higher speed limits. Like anything however it takes time and money. The just haven't completed all the work yet.
